"The strongest argument against gen AI is also the least coherent: it has no soul. It’s the woo-woo argument. But what’s the thing we can do AI can’t? Hurt. AI can send writing into the world & feel nothing about how it’s received. My writing is mine. I’m connected to it. My nerve endings are here."

I would enjoy a crossover that starts with them dining together and then, through a series of misadventures, each is forced to take up the opposite character's mystery. So Benoit Blanc has to batter his way through a bunch of redneck cops and Jack Reacher has to outsmart a murderous plutocrat.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.
